what do they think child birth is

**erinjacob** · 25-09-2007 18:02

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh it makes me so mad when i talk to other people about drug free births, i was just on another pregnancy site talking about home births an they said i was stupid an selfish for putting my baby in danger an one lady said 'i need drugs i dont see why you should be in pain' um u silly b**** your having a baby that means pain why have kids then. pain isnt that bad if you no how to control your body

I so agree that drugs arent needed in childbirth
but to say that if u have drugs why have children is harsh

**erinjacob** · 25-09-2007 18:06

ooops no i didnt mean that but she was saying you shouldnt have pain in child birth i think pain is a good thing in child birth it means your body is working

I'd flag that site and go elsewhere where they are more supportive of homebirth.

We have a section here aswell.

It stumps me that people would be so healthy during pregnancy then pump their body full of drugs during labour.
I dont think having a natural birth is selfish at all

Its better for Mum and bubs!

Having a natural birth is the opoosite of selfish.

Some people are a bit *der*

Drugs have thier place, its just that they are over used.

Some people think childbirth/parenthood is a consumer moment ie the more stuff you have/get the better it is.

Some people aren't capable of looking inside to find a way to cope.

Sorry but some people need drugs during labour guess i will get paid out for this but not everyone can cope with a natural birth we all deal with pain differently and for me it was something that helped me! I wish i could have a drug free birth but unfortunately doesnt work for me

Totally agree

I also dont think we are given or are told about tools to use in order to avoid drugs etc. We seem to be so caught up in making the pain 'go away' that we dont see it as something that can be good even when it is bad so to speak lol.

I also think that many women are scared of what they will do or become when in labour as in they dont want to lose control. They think it will be a bad thing etc when in fact they do need to lose control just not in the way they imagine.
